cannot implement support design library in build gradle file

I'm trying to use Coordinator Layout in my xml file and found that it's corresponding libraries doesn't exists.

So i tried to include this in my gradle build file

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

but it's giving the error

Supplied String module notation 'androidx.' is invalid. Example notations: > 'org.gradle:gradle-core:2.2', 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.9.5:javadoc'.

Then i found all support libraries is deprecated and one need to use androidx library.

How to include this library in my gradle file ? ***My main intention is to use Coordinator Layout in my UI

Click on "Refactor" on the android studio menu bar. Select "Migrate to Androidx..."

You are correct in saying that the support libraries have been deprecated. The new standard is AndroidX. Here is a link that shows the current mappings from the old support libraries to AndroidX.

Specifically for CoordinatorLayout, it has gone from com.android.support:coordinatorlayout to androidx.coordinatorlayout:coordinatorlayout

Furthermore, I suggest reading this page about migrating to AndroidX. It offers a lot of information and will make your transition to AndroidX much smoother.
